Default RKC pipes

So I need to replace my SE pipes on my Road King Classic due to baffles loose.

Any recommendations on slip ons for the RKC that don't break the bank but have a nice sound?

I had some Samson fishtails that sounded ok but sounded much better after adding the dresser duals but since have switched to the CFR's but either set aren't cheap.

I've got the V&H HI Output Slipons: http://www.vanceandhines.com/m/product.php?pid=1356

Love them! DEEP,RICH sound and not too over bearing on the db range...about 110 (or so) db. They look fantastic and I get compliments whenever I'm out. The only other way to go (in my humble opinion) is Fishtail!

Have you considered just replacing the baffles?
Simple and not expensive.

On these SE pipes you can't take the baffles out so unfortunately that isn't an option.

I appreciate the fishtail suggestions but not quite my taste. I totally get the classic look but they're just not for me.

I have looked at the wild pigs that have the same cut as the SE's.

Actually I think it goes against the HD Code of Ethics to put anything on a RKC but fishtails!!! Its a long lost (insert religious law), established in 103BC!
And let Ye be warned!! If you put any thing but fishtails on your RKC, a RKC gnome finds out where you live and cuts your left ******** off! So......, Next time you talk with someone riding a RKC without fishtails, you'll notice that higher pitched voice!!
Just sayin!!
